This book provides up-to-date information on the state of the art
in applications of biotechnological and microbiological tools for
protecting the environment. Written by leading international
experts, it discusses potential applications of biotechnological
and microbiological techniques in solid waste management,
wastewater treatment, agriculture, energy and environmental health.
This second volume of book "Environmental Microbiology and
Biotechnology," covers two main topics: bioenergy and environmental
health, exploring the latest developments from around the globe
regarding applications of biotechnology and microbiology for
converting wastes into valuable products and at the same time
reducing the environmental pollution resulting from disposal.
Wherever possible it also includes real-world examples. Further, it
offers advice on which procedures should be followed to achieve
satisfactory results, and provides insights that will promote the
transition to the sustainable utilization of various waste
products.

This first volume of the book "Environmental Microbiology and
Biotechnology," covers three main topics: Solid waste management,
Agriculture utilization and Water treatment technology, exploring
the latest developments from around the globe regarding
applications of biotechnology and microbiology for converting
wastes into valuable products and at the same time reducing the
environmental pollution resulting from disposal. Wherever possible
it also includes real-world examples. Further, it offers advice on

Chromium and pentachlorophenol are of considerable concern as the
metal and organic compound in the environment, and it has been
found widespread use in the leather tanning and industrial
activities. In view of the above bacterial consortium was developed
by continuous enrichment of sediment core population of microbes in
the chemostat in presence of pentachlorophenol as sole carbon
source. The consortium contained three bacterial strains PCP1,
PCP2, PCP3. One of the strains PCP3 had higher potentiality for the
biosorption of chromium and PCP degradation. Five morphologically
different fungi were also isolated from leather tanning effluent
for large scale removal of chromium in which Aspergillus sp. and
Hirsutella sp. had higher potency to remove chromium but less
efficient to degrade pentachlorophenol. The potency of Aspergillus
sp. for removal of chromium was evaluated and optimized in shake
flask culture and in bioreactor at different pH, carbon and
nitrogen source. The enzyme, chromate reductase was isolated and
partially purified from bacteria (PCP3), which provided future
application of enzyme in chromium reduction for clean and green
environment.
